Eco-Friendly Luxury with Passive Solar Design in Bridger Canyon, Montana
2016
Bridger Canyon, MT
"In Solar Harmony Home, the warmth of innovation meets the serenity of nature, creating a living space that is as self-reliant as it is sustainable."
Solar Harmony Home, nestled in the tranquil Bridger Canyon of Montana, is a shining example of innovation and sustainability in modern architecture. This residence features a groundbreaking passive solar window wall system at the heart of its kitchen, living, and dining areas, redefining self-reliance and independence.
One of the most remarkable displays of its efficiency occurred during an alpenglow, where despite an outside temperature of -22°F, the home maintained a cozy 72°F indoors without any heating assistance. Complementing its eco-conscious design, the home also includes a Tulikivi high-efficiency soapstone stove, capable of warming the entire space through extreme cold with just 2-3 logs each night.
With over 8 years of validated performance, the home's thermal envelope design underscores our commitment to providing not only economic value but also enhancing the quality of life for its residents. The Solar Harmony Home stands as a testament to the possibilities of sustainable living, offering a harmonious blend of modern innovation and the serene beauty of Montana's landscapes.
